"We were shown to-day by the courte-
GUS master car-builder, Mr.. Grlf Enders,
the two combination cars, 6 and z, planned
and built by him very recently In this
city. With the exception of a coat OF
varnish still to be applied to one OF these
coaches, both are in perfect travelling trim,
and ready for public service. These cars
have quite a number OF new features
attached TO them not found on any other
narrow gauge. They are adapted alike TO
passenger and baggage use and will seat
about twenty persons with perfect conve-
nience In the position of the break and
springs on these cars, Mr.. Enders, with the
| help of Mr.. J. c. Collins, has adopted
practical ideas of their own, and HIS added
| TO the usual couplers new rubber attach
ments TO deaden the effects OF jars caused
| by lurching. The universal stand car
colors has been used in identifying these
coaches by Mr.. j. G. Shield, and when

A most distressing and fatal accident
occurred at Kosciusko on Wednesday last,
| 5th, resulting in the death of Mrs. ANNIE
I. CLARK. We have the following par
ticulars in a private letter:
"Poor Mrs. Annie Clark caught FIRE in
| Some way while all alone, and did not sue
| coed in making any one hear her cries OF
alarm till she was most distressi1gly
burned, from the effects of which she, this
morning died, at O'Clock. Miss Ellen,
her sister, has been teaching at home
since the school-house was burned, and
though in the room across the hall was so
absorbed in her duties that she failed to
| notice any unusual sounds, which some of
her pupils afterwards claimed to have
heard. A little negro boy who waited on
Mrs. &, happened to enter her room and
found her in flames, but instead of calling
Miss E., ran out the eastern door and
| screamed fire! and it was not until Mrs.
Mills ran across the street and through
Mrs. G. Is room to Miss En- that she knew
anything about it. Mrs. c. niust have
been burning thirty or forty minutes, for
her clothing, which was all flannel, was
burned of to her waist, and her limbs all
charred. No one knows how it started,
bat it is thought she rolled her chair near
the chimney to reach something on the
mantel and the quilt she had around her
caught fire. OpIates were administered as
soon as possible, ard she scene to be free
from pain afterward, but was unconscious
nearly all the time. She was burned at
A O'Clock. Our whole community is dis
tressed, and | know how deeply you will
all sympathize with the family"
Mrs. Clerk was the beloved wife of Mai.
M. A. Clark. She was a lady of rare cul-
ture, and was universally esteemed. In
earlier years, before family cares occupied
her time and thought, she wrote much for
tine press, and few years ago was invited
by the State Press Association to prepare
a poem for its annual meeting, but her
failing health p. evented. She has been so
paralyzed for several years as to be quite
helpless, and for the last year or so lived
In rolling chair. During the five or six
years when the Masonic Order of the East
ern Star aourished in this State, she was
the Grand Matron of the Grand Chapter,
and will be fraternally and affectionally
remembered by all who were accustomed
to attend the annual meetings of that body.
Her life, in all its relations, was useful
and beautiful, and when the end was
reached,
There fell upon the town a sudden gloom
A shadow those air
And softly, from that hushed and stricken room
Two angels issued where but one went inn
